About this map

Henrys Fork snakes across this high desert landscape, providing a narrow band of riparian vegetation amidst the arid terrain of Sweetwater County. The 1964 field survey reveals a region defined by water management and drainage patterns, where small catchments like Silt Reservoir, Briggs Reservoir, and Middle Reservoir highlight the necessity of collecting seasonal runoff in this environment. To the south, Antelope Wash and Antelope Spring mark the subtle hydrological shifts that influenced land use during the mid-20th century.

In the western reaches of the quadrangle, Big Hollow and Logan Hollow carve through the topography near Richardson Spring and Neff Reservoir. The absence of dense residential development emphasizes the area's character as open range or industrial territory, occasionally dotted with markers like a lonely Drill Hole. This document serves as a clear record of the intersection between the natural course of Little Dry Creek and the man-made infrastructure required to sustain the cattle or mining interests of the era.
